Functional Equivalence of the Proneural Genes Neurog1 and Neurog2 in the Developing Dorsal Root Ganglia Highlights the Importance of Timing of Neurogenesis in Biasing Somatosensory Precursor Fates

The paper shows Neurog1 and Neurog2 are functionally equivalent in DRG development, with neuronal fate determined by neurogenesis timing rather than TF identity.

The cytoskeleton adaptor protein Sorbs1 controls the development of lymphatic and venous vessels in zebrafish

This study identifies Sorbs1's role in zebrafish lymphatic and venous vessel development, showing it regulates cytoskeleton dynamics and BMP signaling, distinct from Vegfc pathways.

Loss of G9a does not phenocopy the requirement for Prdm12 in the development of the nociceptive neuron lineage

This study shows that G9a is not essential for Prdm12's role in nociceptive neuron development, despite their interaction.

Towards best-practice approaches for CRISPR/Cas9 gene engineering

The paper provides guidelines and tools to optimize CRISPR/Cas9 genome targeting efficiency and specificity by considering target locus, guide RNA design, delivery methods, and off-target detection.
